Film Shopping

Should I go over to amazon and order some less expensive not-quite professional film like Kodak Gold or ColorPlus, or should I buy fewer rolls of better, professional level film like Kodak Portra 400 or Ilford HP5?

Probably go with the cheaper stuff. I am a super amateur hack, after all.

That’s the Everest ride at Disney’s Animal Kingdom. From a distance, of course. I don’t think we’re going to spend much time at Animal Kingdom when we go back in September. Half a day, maybe? We had it all planned out but I haven’t updated the calendar yet. I’ll get to it soon, of course.

Film is fun, but it’s expensive. I remember when it was super cheap. Back in the old days, before digital cameras.

  1. Whatever film you choose, the picture will be the result of your eye, not the specific film. Go for what you feel willing to pay for; let the rest fall in to place around it and don’t get hung up on it 🙂

  2. I spent 14yrs on this topic. Everything came back to production costs, time, convenience, and I came away with this mindset. Hard to beat the Canon 90D with a Sigma f1.4 with auto focus and bokeh to die for. It’s a whole different world from where you start. The idea to feature one aspect within the shot. I’ll start posting examples in the M.E. Start-ups. We’ve got 4. Why the Canon 90D? Video.
